Thread on #ClimateChange & #CoronaVirus
This #pandemic gives us time to preserve a habitable climate. Time we need to plan. Suspending business as usual is also the #solution to the #ClimateEmergency. Before they said it's impossible. Now we know it's safe, and manageable.

Ultimately, protests such as the #NoKings ones are useless, despite their intentions. To be effective, protests must disrupt the machinery of the state itself, which is why to build true power we need a militant labor movement that will engage in mass striking.

When lsraeI bombed the first hospital in Gaza, the world wouldn’t believe it and Israel blamed a misfired rocket from Hamas.

lsraeI has now destroyed all 36 hospitals in Gaza including its largest, the al-Shifa Hospital.

They have no right to complain.

Perceptions of democracy in China are *higher* than in the US, the UK, and France.

This data is coming from the world's largest democracy perception study, published by the Alliance of Democracies Foundation (a Danish-based non-profit organisation).

I'm excited to announce this new paper we have in The Lancet Planetary Health.

We show that the world is not moving towards a just and ecological future for all. Growth in energy and material use is occurring primarily in countries that do not need it and is not occurring fast enough (or is declining) in countries that do need it.

The capitalist world economy is not delivering for human needs and ecology. A substantial redistribution of energy and material use is required—both within countries and between them.

Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year.

Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year.

Capitalism kills.

Read this: NO federal science happens anymore without approval of Elon's DOGE kiddies, 23-year-old crypto bros as overconfident as he was. Your tax dollars, our science heritage, are run by mini-mes of the man who just blew up a Starship on the ground. 4/

BREAKING: Trump’s VA just gave doctors the green light to refuse treatment to veterans who are Democrats or unmarried.

Yes—you read that right. Serve your country, risk your life, and when you come home, your care depends on your politics and marital status.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.

Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Two days ago, Israel assassinated nine Iranian scientists — university professors and researchers — in targeted airstrikes. Some of them were killed together with their families. Western media is acting as if this is an act of war.
Yet, this is a war crime, here’s why. 🧵 1/

The ocean is a global commons that supports all life, and the stability of nations. Across the entire world. The ocean is heating, losing life, acidifying, loaded with plastic and chemicals, losing oxygen. Losing resilience. Sylvia Earle's call to action

This is the road we are on. The companies that caused the climate crisis are getting rich as they fuel the fire.

@ExxonMobil : $55.7 billion
@Shell: $39.87 billion
@Chevron: $35.5 billion
@BP_plc: $27.7 billion

No time to waste. #ActOnClimate

So, the 7th of our 9 planetary boundaries was shattered 5 YEARS AGO.

Multiple timebombs ticking loudly, but our ‘leaders’ are frantically stuffing fossil fuel & corporate donations in their ears.
